a return to biblical literacy

The good news in this Breakpoint Commentary (Broken link, active June 2, 2005) by Chuck Colson is that

“In a survey commissioned by the Bible Literacy Project, Dr. Marie Wachlin interviewed forty-one top English teachers from American private and public schools. The Washington Times reports, ‘Nine out of 10 teachers who participated argued that knowledge of the Bible is crucial for a good education; 40 of the 41 teachers said [Biblical] literacy is an educational advantage.’ “

Colson’s commentary contains excellent links for further reading.
